A mistake is a mistake. I’ve been making constant mistakes at work some small some not so small the attorneys had been extremely gracious about it. But until when will they not be. I’m just scared.

Why do you make so many mistakes? Have you reflected and tried to implement fixes, especially for the big mistakes?

Admit to your mistakes, learn from them, and slow down. Never try and hide a mistake as that will always make things worse. It's great that you're able to have meetings about the mistakes, as that shows that these people are trying to invest in you. Invest in yourself by taking a breath, and triple checking even the stuff you know you did right. It will soon become habit. Your team believes in you, so believe in yourself

Hypothetically, if BBB was delayed and brought to the Senate floor next year (let's say February 2022) and passed, and the January 1st date for ending Roth conversions is left unchanged, what would happen to Americans who performed After-Tax 401k to Roth conversions in January? Would 401k custodians have to reverse the transactions and somehow factor in gains earned in users' Roth accounts since the conversion? Could there be penalties?

Hello Technie's,
I am in a confused state of mind with my current situation & I can surely use some advice from you guys.
I'm working with a product company for almost 5+ yrs now & recently decided to separate from them for obvious compensation reasons.
I have multiple offers now with product/service based companies.
The top and the best offer I have is from a service based organization of almost 100% hike.
Now my company wants to retain me & offering me even higher. What should I do?

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
